 * I have this WP multisite: [https://www.coresystemtrust.org.uk/](https://www.coresystemtrust.org.uk/).
   At some point many (most? all?) of the media in the media library were duplicated
   so if I go to the library it says I have 17,752 files in “All files” and 17,803
   in “Root folder” but the reality is that there are far fewer. Running “find .-
   name “*.jpg” | wc -l” in the wp-content/uploads folder reports 1,971 jpgs, similarly,
   1,259 pngs. I am looking for some way to purge the library of all these ghost
   or zombie entries but I know that some plugins which offer this sort of power
   won’t work on multisites … hence the question.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdoes-the-plugin-work-with-wp-multisites%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
